Ryan: Tuesday

Yesterday was our second day of service. We woke up and ate some delicious frosted flakes. After enjoying our breakfast at seven am, we departed for morning devotions. We had a fascinating conversation about the technicalities of selflessness. 

Next we departed for our various service projects. My group headed for Patricia's house to complete our painting job. The sun was blazing as we toiled away. Just as the sun became too much we heard thunder. A massive rain storm  (at least by California standards) moved in.  Afraid of lighting strikes, we bailed on the paint job 45 minutes early. We arrived at "home" and recoverd for an hour before going to shower. 

That evening, two Shoshone women came and spoke about what it is like to live on the reservation, and some Shoshone history. Afterwards they sold jewelry (I got a necklace). It was a very full day!
